Wars of Liberty expanded Age of Empires III's original concept of cultures by adding five new ones. We're also in the process of adding even more cultures: the Middle Easterners and the Polynesians. A culture is a set of civilizations that shares a number of characteristics that can range from units and buildingsets to gameplay mechanics such as styles of aging up. They generally represent a specific geographical region. Choose a culture below to read more about it and the civilizations it includes:
